14条职场新准则：助你攀上事业顶峰

If your manager is unsuccessful, his frustrations will undoubtedly rub off on you, and the chances you’ll ever get a promotion are pretty slim. But if you support your manager’s career, make his life easier, and earn his trust, he’ll take you with him as he climbs the corporate ladder — even if that means going to another company.
如果管理者不成功，他肯定会把怨气撒在你身上，那你得到提升的机会就很渺小了。但若能支持老板的工作，让他的生活更轻松，赢得他的信任，那他在得到升职后也不会忘记你——哪怕这意味着要去另一家公司。

9. The one with the most connections wins.
有人脉才是赢家。

We have moved from an information economy to a social one. It’s less about what you know (you can find out just about anything within seconds with a simple Google search), and more about whether you can work with other people to solve problems.
我们从信息经济时代过渡到信息社会。通过谷歌搜索，几秒钟你就能知道所有想知道的事，所以现在你知道什么并不重要，重要的是你能否和他人协作共同解决问题。

10. Remember the rule of one.
请记住“一人准则”

When it comes to getting a job, starting a business, finding someone to marry, or just about anything else, all it takes is one person to change your life for the better. People may be saying no all around you. But as long as one person says yes, you're on your way.
当说起找工作、创业、结婚或其他别的事情时，总会有一个支持你的人把你的生活变得更好。也许周围其他人都在说“不”，但只要有一个人支持你，你就应该坚持下去。

11. You are the future.
你就是未来。

By 2025, 75% of the global workforce will be Gen Y. That means that even though you may be early in your career, in the not too distant future you’ll be at the forefront. Right now, you have to position yourself to take one of these major leadership roles when the workforce shifts and older generations retire.
到2050年，全球主要劳动力都是千禧一代。也就是说即使你现在还是事业起步阶段，但在不远的将来你就是前线上的一员。因此从现在开始你就要锁定一个领导职位，当劳动力变迁，老一代退休时，就及时抓住机遇。

12. Entrepreneurship is for everyone, not just business owners.
不只是公司老板，每个人都应该有创业精神。

A lot of people define "entrepreneurship" as starting a business, but in recent years the meaning has broadened to include someone who’s accountable, who’s willing to take risks, and who sells him- or herself. If you want to get ahead, start looking at your company’s management as a venture capital firm. Be persistent, sell your ideas to them, and come up with innovative solutions no one else has thought of.
很多人都将“创业精神”定义为开创一家公司，但近几年它的意思有所延展，可用来形容那些负责任、勇于承担风险、可以推销自我的人。如果你想冲在最前方，就要把你的公司管理想象成风险投资企业。要做到持之以恒、让他们接受你的观点，不断制定别人想不出的创新解决方案。

13. Hours are out, accomplishments are in.
投入时间，收入回报。

If you want to keep your job and move up, stop thinking that you have to put in a ridiculous numbers of hours per week. Instead, realize your value, deliver on it, measure your successes, and then promote yourself.
要是你想保住工作、有所晋升，就别再想每周你要花多长时间工作了。相反，你要认识到自己价值所在，履行责任，评价业绩，最终提升自我。

14. Your career is in your hands, not your employer’s.
你的事业掌握在自己手中，并非老板所管。

No matter what they say, companies are looking out for themselves. And while you should definitely try to make your company successful, you need to make sure that you’re getting something out of the deal, too.
不管他们说什么，公司都是为了自身发展。虽然你应该竭力帮公司获得成功，你也应当从中有所回报。

If you aren't learning and growing, you aren't benefiting anymore, and that's an issue that you will have to resolve. Don't rely on anything or anyone: Be accountable for your own career, and take charge of your own life.
如果你不能从中学习成长，那你就没有任何收益，这个问题必须解决。不要依靠他人。要为自己的事业负责，做自己生命的主人。
